+1 for long trips. I picked up my 4 in March and drove it to Munich over the course of 3 days. A few suggestions:
- Get a Dirtlej Commutesuit. I drove for a whole day in the rain and with the Dirtlej, helmet and waterproof gloves & socks I was 100% dry when I got out of the car.
- Avoid really cold days. Even with ski trousers & ski jacket under my Dirtlej I got cold once the outside temp dropped down to 5C.
- Noise cancelling headphones are a plus for motorway driving or for normal driving if you're not using a helmet. The rest of the time a helmet is sufficient to soften the whistles & whooshes next to your ear.
- Be prepared to take the longer route to your destination. These cars are so good on winding roads that you'll find yourselves looking for routes that take more time but dial up the fun.
- Do a road trip to Italy. I did a bunch of mountain passes over 2 days this weekend and the car was incredible. Nothing on the road is faster through uphill hairpins. Even the bikers get in your way
